In an archive document about the 1738 plague in Ujpalanka there is mention of vampire activity and various anti-vampire measures, like the cremation of the corpse.

The Date:

We have been given a clear date: the plague year of 1738.

The Place:

In those days Ujpalanka or Uj-Palanka appears to have been the district capital of the "Banat von Temeswar", a province of Hungary. Hence the Hungarian name. It can now be found in Serbia, on the North side of the Danube river, West of Novi Sad and at the Croatian Border. It now has the Serbian name Backa Palanka.

Possible Follow-Up:

You can start by reading Laszlo Andras Magyar's excellent report. And if you manage to find back those documents in the "Acta Pestiletialia", I will raise a glass of Hungarian wine and drink to your health.
